Nespereira Estate – Rustic Heaven In Algarve

Oct. 11, 2012 by UNIQ Hotels

Location:

Casa Nova da Cruz Portugal West Europe
Nature

The Algarve is one of the most crowded tourist destinations in Europe, but this isn’t the Algarve. This is the Nespeira Estate, a secluded hideaway without commercial tourism in sight.

It is still close enough to the gorgeous Alentejo coast, so you can enjoy the beautiful beaches that make this area famous.

You can choose to stay in a traditional ‘rammed earth’ villa with its terracotta roofing and antique furniture or go for a more natural experience in the ‘woodland hideaways’.
